“LITTLE ROCK ROCKY”
May 25, 1988 – May 20, 2004
Our beautiful boy was so intelligent. We became partners - when you were only 1 day old, I picked you up and you squirmed until you snuggled beneath my chin. When you were hungry, the other 6 in your litter didn’t stand a chance– you crawled over their backs to get to your Mommy. I took you home when you were 5 weeks old, and oh, how you cried that night. But for the next 16 years, we were inseparable travelers. From Little Rock, Arkansas, to Baltimore, Maryland, to Houston, back to the Northeast, Louisiana and Oklahoma, and all the while, we were happy just to be together. You had many nicknames, among them: Rock-a-boo, Rock-a-Doodle, and Rock-a-feller…that one given because you brought such wealth to our lives.
We knew you were in pain the last few months and we were there, keeping watch while you crossed the Rainbow Bridge. We grieved uncontrollably and still tell you good night every evening. I think it was Will Rogers who said….”If there are no dogs in heaven, I don’t want to go there”. We will always love and miss you.
